Viña Mayor Verdejo 2021, Rueda D.O., Spain: Viña Mayor 2021 Verdejo is excellent value at $17. Love the complexity of this Verdejo from the Rueda wine region. Dry, medium-bodied and fresh on the nose with grapefruit zest, lychee fruit, fine herbs with orange blossom, tropical fruit and minerally notes crisp and clean on the palate. Finishes light and floral. Very nicely done. Verdejo food pairings: grilled shrimp, salads, potato saffron cakes, grilled white-fleshed fish.
